Tracker Season 2, Episode 19 ("Rules of the Game") introduced Leo, a prominent client who was caught in a tense standoff with his missing assistant. The episode wasn't just a one-off case entirely; it revealed layers in Reenie's burgeoning legal practice and pushed her into legally questionable terrain. In the meantime, Leo, played by Pej Vahdat, was accorded just enough enigma to get fans speculating as to whether or not his case wasn't finished.
Though his arc was wrapped up within the episode, Leo's involvement in this type of complicated, high-level case opened up a story door that Tracker could potentially walk through again. Although there’s no official announcement about whether he’s returning, the production and efficiency of the series make the idea not only possible, but intelligent for the narrative.
Leo's role in Tracker was resolved, not forgotten
So let's get this straight: Leo's storyline in Episode 19 was not left unresolved. The plot was all about Francie being kidnapped, his shady past, and the fatal consequences of his previous actions. The case was closed already toward the end of the episode, resolving the primary conflict centered on him.
But resolution isn't always closure—especially in a procedural drama. Leo's ties to the computer world, his checkered business background, and his contentious relationship with both Reenie and Colter make him an ideal candidate for a future return. Tracker wrapped up his story, but didn't erase the footprint he left behind.
Reenie's professional makeover in Tracker was a breakthrough
Episode 19 wasn’t just about the case—it was a turning point for Reenie. Stepping away from Teddi’s firm and taking legal control into her own hands, she was placed in a position where her ethics, decision-making, and loyalty were tested. Leo’s case directly intersected with her professional transition, making their dynamic more than circumstantial.
This development set the stage for Season 3's fresh legal and emotional challenges. Leo, since he was the character who helped facilitate Reenie’s independence, is still connected to her trajectory, particularly if his history returns to haunt him or if his future cases concern such legal loopholes.
Tracker’s format supports recurring characters
Tracker does have a smooth storytelling style that often brings one-time characters around when the story calls for it. While each show is extremely self-contained, threads of earlier storylines occasionally reappear, especially when they intersect with the main cast.
With this format, Leo's return would not be out of the question. The show has already brought back side characters when they've helped to move Colter's story along or add depth to Reenie's legal and moral complexities. Another turn could delve further into the character of Leo or use him as a reference point in a larger story.
There's room for legal & personal fallout
While Leo’s story wrapped up tidily on screen, legal matters—especially those involving shady tech firms—never really wrap up for good. Such events could be introduced in Season 3 and return Reenie or Colter to Leo's life. Either through a follow-up case, media buzz, or consequences arising from what Leo has accomplished, he might return for a good storytelling reason.
This is not about cliffhangers. It's about being able to tell stories. The groundwork has been laid, and in a series like Tracker, open history has a way of coming full circle—especially if it serves to further character development or unearth more mystery.
Colter & Leo: A relationship with tension
Colter Shaw and Leo's working relationship was tense, though. There was calculation, distrust, and urgency between them, but limited trust. If Leo does return, that suspended tension can be explored. He could return as a character in need of rescue again, or as a loose cannon in someone else's story.
In Tracker, the returning characters are often used to challenge Colter's judgment, drive him into moral crises, or simply challenge his strategies. Leo is a suitable candidate for that purpose—an uncertain character whose return could complicate things just enough to be worth the screen time.
So, is Leo returning in Tracker Season 3? No word. But considering how the show approaches returning characters, the complex part he played in Episode 19, and the narrative possibilities he presents, his return would most certainly be plausible.
It's not about cliffhangers or loose ends. It's about the logical, character-driven potential that a series like Tracker has on the table, just in case the writers ever want to open it up again. And with Leo, the door is still open wide.
